DA Mike McLelland and his wife found dead two months after assistant DA killed

Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife were found shot dead at their home in North Texas on Sunday, the AP reports.

The murders come less than two months after McLelland's assistant DA Mark Hasse was killed by a gunman in January.

Texas police have been investigating the possible involvement of the Aryan Brotherhood in Hasse's killing. And the FBI is looking into whether Hasse's killing is related to the murder of Colorado's prison director, Tom Clements, who was shot to death at his home on March 19. Police believe Clements was killed by white supremacist and former CO inmate Evan Spencer Ebel, who died in a shootout with TX police.

McLelland himself believed that a white supremacist gang killed Hasse, as he told the AP less than two weeks ago. "We put some real dents in the Aryan Brotherhood around here in the past year," McLelland said. Hasse was killed on January 31, the same day that the Justice Dept. announced that the Kaufman County DA's Office was involved in a case against the Aryan Brotherhood.

McLelland also told the AP that he had begun carrying a gun with him everywhere after Hasse's death.

At a press conference today, Kaufman County Sheriff David Byrnes confirmed the shooting but not much else.

Nobody said anything about this being a "right to bear arms story"---And its not the end of any damn story until who ever did this is caught, tried, and punished...Don't try to make this about gun control. Its a crime. Its a murder---lets solve this murder and then you can whine all about gun control all you like.

One more thing to show how biased these fencesitters actually are. We get this story but nothing about the 500 "youths" who went on a rampage attacking innocent people in downtown Chicago. Not a word. Now why do you suppose that is? Hmmm.... Methinks I know the answer.

Concerned about white supremacists? ROTFLMAOFF! I'm not worried about them at all. I'm more worried about urban terrorists who cause death and destruction all over this country. From Spokane to Miami, LA to NY. It's always the same story. Only the day is different.

As usual Politix is giving people the opportunity to jump to conclusions and start bashing conservatives before there is any real information about the crime. Were the suspects a left wing hate group would this article even be here for a vote? I doubt it.

This is nothing but a ;phony distraction and a canard by Obama's in-the-tank-media, and using it in favor of the gun-grabbers. Both these slain individuals were either directly or indirectly involved with prosecuting members of the Mexican drug cartels. In Mexico there have been many Judges, prosecuting attorneys and their families executed for the very same reason as illistrated above....

I'm just sorry that he wasn't able to use his gun to save he and his wife. That's so sad. He deserved the right to carry a gun to try to protect himself.Violent white supremacists, violent gangs of all different races, criminals; for the very most part these people are not buying their guns legally. I do not want to see this tragedy turned into another reason used to try to take away our second amendment rights! Obviously this man murdered believed in his right to own and bear arms. Using their deaths to try to further the push to take away second amendment rights would be in direct opposition to the deceased beliefs.

It is a concern that a prosecutor and his wife were killed. The news report does not give details regarding why the police believe it may have links to a white supremacist group. The Arian Brotherhood is mentioned in the new broadcast, however there are numerous white supremacist groups, I would suspect the news media has more information they are not willing to share. Supremacist groups of any type scare the heL_ out of me, they are unpredictable and dangerous.

You got that crap right. I watch those prison shows late at night on MSNBC. I am not going to prison ever. Here's, my theory. These DAs put an innocent man behind bars. Tats what's happened here, I guarantee it. The gang thing is way, way out of hand. I'm white. I don't hate blacks. They will kill me for being white and not hating blacks. And enjoy it. If I were a reporter or newscaster, I wouldn't even want to mention them.

'Man gets murdered by white supremacists.'Does this change your mind on Obamacare?How about white supremacist illegal aliens?Higher taxes...on guns?What if we told you he was Jewish?A white supremacist Jewish member of a Latino gang that supports higher taxes on Obamacare and is anti-assault weapon?*head falls off*

There isn't enough information in this story for a reaction. The exact who and why are yet to be determined, and isn't the Aryan Brotherhood "suspected" at this point? Mindless thugs they may be, but no one has been proven guilty just yet.

This is tragic and I am concerned about white supremacists. I am concerned about the epidemic of guns as murder weapons. In this instance I am also concerned that we take away the knowledge that even a law enforcement officer carrying a gun is not safe from being killed by a person with a gun. Here is my question: How can we keep guns away from deranged and demented people without restricting the rights of everyone else?

By enforcing laws that are already on the books for starters.That's what people don't understand. The laws are already in place to prevent certain types from getting firearms but until law enforcement steps up and our judicial system grows some teeth its like pissing in the wind.

You don't keep guns away from anyone by legislation alone, you do it by enforcement. In order to restrict deranged and demented persons, you would have to get doctors to enter the names of those persons into a database so they could be checked. The law already states that persons determined to be a danger because of a mental disorder are prohibited possessors and cannot purchase a gun.

Honestly Ken you cannot fully do it. Without throwing away the second amendment and banning guns, then no other amendment matters. You can slow the aquirement through backround checks but criminals don't mind stealing things. This truly is a black and white issue at the core.

There's no answer to your question. I'm a democrat. Id like to see AR-15s and 100 round magazines off the street but I don't think that'll help much. I live in Tennessee. The lawmakers here are criminals and the worst bunch of thugs you've ever seen. I don't go anywhere unarmed. I moved back here to help with aging patents who refuse to move. Background Checks won't even detect the deranged and demented. Here's my best answer. We start all over. People that own guns must have 20 other people vouch for them. Quick, easy and cheaply done....now, if a person that I consider to be deranged asks me to sign his voucher, I go right ahead and sign it. Then I call the toll free number and give them the real scoop. If three or four complaints come down, this dude has to be evaluated. Just a thought

Possible false flag operation to ignite paranoia in the law enforcement community that is siding with the 2nd amendment. Wake up people, the FBI and DHS know what white supremacists are doing. This smells of a SPLC mind f*&k.
